Domaine St. Nicolas Gamay @ Diner

It’s nearly Spring and Gamay has sprung. At my local haunt Diner they are serving Domaine St. Nicolas Fiefs Vendéens 2010 “Gammes en May” Gamay by the glass. It comes in a clear bottle (different), and the color is a nice rich purple with stoney red and purple fruits, and it goes down a treat. The estate is biodynamic since 1995 and the wine seems to retail for just over $20. It is imported by Jon-David Headrick Selections which seems to specialize in natural wines from the Loire. I am putting it on a watch list as this is excellent Gamay (is that an oxymoron?). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The beauty is that Gamay pairs with an insanely wide amounts of dishes, foods, and cuisines. I opted for the brisket sandwich on focaccia, and it was a great match.
